Congenital syphilis: the re-emergence of a forgotten disease.

A preterm newborn presented at birth with generalised oedema, disseminated bullous and desquamative exanthema with palmoplantar involvement and hepatomegaly, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with severe multisystemic disease, haemodynamic instability and respiratory distress. The mother had a history of treated latent syphilis before pregnancy. Venereal Disease Research Laboratory screening was negative in the first trimester, titre 1:2 in second trimester and 1:32 in the third trimester, a result only available to the medical team at birth.

Validation of a lithium-ion commercial battery pack model using experimental data for stationary energy management application.

A cost-effective solution for the design of distributed energy storage systems implies the development of battery performance models yielding a suitable representation of its dynamic behaviour under realistic operation conditions. In this work, a lithium-ion battery (LIB) is tested to be further modelled and integrated into an existing energy management control system. This specific LIB (5.
